Smile Squad returns for Fluro treatments
The EACH Smile Squad team are heading back to our school to complete six-monthly fluoride varnish applications for those students who have provided consent. Fluoride varnish applications help make sure students have the best chance of preventing tooth decay, so we’re excited Smile Squad are coming back.
Consent for this fluoride varnish application was provided when students’ initial consent forms were returned. However, if anyone has changed their mind and do not wish to receive a fluoride varnish application, you can contact EACH directly to let them know.
Please contact the Smile Squad team via:
9757 6209
The Smile Squad team look forward to visiting soon.
Music Incursion
I am very excited to announce that on Thursday, May 16th the Foundation - Grade 4 students will be participating in an incursion provided by Musica Viva. This incursion is called Life Is An Echo and introduces students to instruments from Asia that they may not have seen before, such as the Erhu and the Guzheng, as well as instruments that they are already familiar with. The incursion is about connection; the connections between sounds and silences, the connections between people, and the connections to culture and the environment. This incursion ties in strongly with our Japanese language and culture program, and students will be participating in preparation activities in both Performing Arts and Japanese lessons. There is no cost to families for this incursion. We look forward to inviting these musicians in to our school on the 16th May.

Performing Arts Teacher and Coordinator
